Current and Returning Students

Wildcat Living sets yourself up for success with convenient access to everything from libraries and peer tutoring to mentors who are ready to support you in your academic journey. Living on campus not only puts you close to all the academic resources but also eliminates the hassle of commuting. Plus, with everything from water and electricity to WIFI and laundry covered in your room rate, you can focus on your studies without worrying about additional expenses.

The Campus Housing and Dining application for the 2025-26 academic year will open for all students on September 9, 2024.

Update for Returning Students

Each academic year UK Campus Housing reserves a portion of rooms for returning students with space allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. More returning students are choosing to remain on campus and are submitting their applications earlier than before, making the process more competitive.

As of February 1, 2025, UK Campus Housing transitioned to a waitlist for current students. We recommend students consider alternate living arrangements off-campus, just in case on-campus housing does not become available. While returning students may still submit the 2025-26 Campus Housing and Dining application, they must also add themselves directly to the waitlist in myUK to still be considered for a room assignment on campus. Adding their name to the waitlist does not guarantee their request to live on campus will be accommodated. Learn more here.

Roommates

Living with roommates is a wonderful opportunity to develop lasting friendships and help each other succeed academically and personally. Though this may be a new experience for many, open communication and mutual respect will set you up for a successful year!

Tips for Roommate Success

The residence halls on campus are my favorite part. I currently live in the University Flats. And it's amazing with the kitchen that we have in there, and then the room styles that we have. Students like living on campus because it's easy to get to class. You don't have to worry about car traffic. It's easy to hop on the bus and get to class if you don't like walking to classes.
